UNICEF announced that the Multilateral Organization Performance Assessment Network (MOPAN) – a network of 17 donor countries that rate the effectiveness of multilateral organizations – published its most recent assessment of UNICEF, “finding that UNICEF had shown it was able to strengthen its effectiveness and to coordinate efforts to address key issues.” The latest assessment of UNICEF was led by the governments of Austria and Spain MOPAN assessments “provide an important snapshot of an organization’s management effectiveness from a strategic, operational, relationship and knowledge-based perspective. The assessment relies largely on perception-based surveys of in-country partners, peer organizations and donors. In 2012, country-level surveys were undertaken in Cambodia, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Ghana, Honduras, Morocco, Niger, Nigeria, Philippines and Zimbabwe, serving as the basis of the 2012 report. UNICEF said it “welcomes the common MOPAN approach and the consultative process and is committed to follow up on the recommendations.”
